Good bat for 9 year old
My 9 year old played in a wood bat tournament and thought the bat was great. He hit the ball well and so did the other kids on his team who used the bat. The bat made it through the tournament without breaking, which was something I was worried about. I would recommend bat tape for the handle, as it made the bat easier to grip.

good bat, not so good price
Like the bat. Weight distribution is good for youth. My 10 yr old loves it. Paid $35. Found out another kid purchased it at another retailer for $25.

IT BROKE QUICKLY!!!
My 11 year old Grandson wanted to try a wooden bat and he loved the look and feel of this Rawlings VELO Ash Wood Youth Bat. I guess the "feel" was a bit too light because the bat shattered before he had 10 swings with it. He had even used his own money (an award from 5th grade graduation) to buy it. Oh well......

Well balanced
It is a well-balanced and light bat. Unfortunately, it broke after the 3rd use.

bat has changed
This was a great bat for my 6th grader to start playing middle school ball as it is a BBCOR or wood bat only league. The first one we purchased had a nice sweet spot and served him well for several games. Of course it broke because you can't have a
-7.5 bat that is going to be super strong. Breaking these is just the price you pay for having a lightweight bat. As we replaced the bat, however, the new one came and was designed differently. The sweet spot was drastically reduced and the bat was much thinner. Maybe this was to increase its strength? Anyway, we returned it as it looked more like a toothpick than a bat. We bit the bullet and went with a 30" BBCOR aluminum and just swung harder.
